Does Seattle have any sites or announcements regarding such funds? I know this area must be receiving a bundle as well, like every state and city is. I am just curious to where the funds will be spent and what projects may move forward and what is in store!

Not sure of this, but below is a map of projected job growth due to stimulus.... That doesn't necessarily translate into how much money each state is getting, but it's all I've seen over the recent weeks.

If stimulus money equates to 'projected' jobs, then it looks to me Washington is a bit better than average in terms of how much $$$/jobs it's projected to get.
